GOING MATTE?

I've ALWAYS been a shimmer girl. But as I get older I'm turning more towards mattes, the problem is, I do not have a good palette at all for them. I've heard stuff about the UD Basics, but the mattes that come in the Naked 1 palette look a little..I don't know, orange-ish? Or atleast on my fair skin they do. Here are two matte looks I LOVE, any suggestions on what palettes can help me create them?

Re: GOING MATTE?

You can ease into matte with Benefit's World Famous Neutrals palette in Everyday. It has a mix of matte and satin finishes that are fantastic. Just be aware that you can lose pigment quality with matte shades in most circumstances. A satin finish is beautiful when paired with a matte like in that palette!

I agree with kissXmakeup about the Meet Matte Nude palette, it has gorgeous matte shades and the one that is on Hautelook right now is half price--and there are 9 shades, equaling about .80 of an ounce, which is A LOT of shadow!! The Hautelook sale ends tomorrow (tuesday) at 11AM EST. It does include a white shade, a couple of browns a pinky/peach and a couple of taupes, plus others. It's half price at $21 (a really good deal, imo).

Yeah I have the Naked 1, but as said, the mattes just look a little off on my skin. Buck especially does little to flatter me. I was looking more for a stark white, a few wide-ranged shades of browns, and maybe a black.

Re: GOING MATTE?

I would totally recommend getting the Pro palette too. I love mine. I have found though if you want the white eyeshadow to show up you'll need a white eyeshadow pencil. Sephora has one for around 11.00. When I use that underneath as a base it really makes the white pop. I think a couple of the eye shadows are powdery, white included. But a great palette overall.
